Food Corp.Of India & Ors vs Ashis Kumar Ganguly & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the Food Corporation of India against a Calcutta High Court ruling that mandated the grant of advance increments to 57 deputationist employees under the Food Corporations Act, 1964. The Court examined Section 12 and Section 12A of the Act, determining that the employees' classification as different from those of the Central Government did not justify the denial of increments. Ultimately, the Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the employees' entitlement to the additional increment as per the regulations.
